> How long ago did you stop paxil? I was on it for 1.5 yrs(?) And experienced a hellish withdrawal for weeks and weeks. There is at least a month that I don't even remember. I was dazed, very depressed, and suicidal. My pdoc was very surprised b/c she had read that you could overlap w/prozac and do a fast w/drawal (generally she was pretty sharp too). The plan didn't work as well as it was supposed to!

> So, I'm wondering if w/drawal could be part of why you are feeling so bad. I had to taper down to 1.25mg of paxil at the end. It took a looong time (I got good w/ a pill cutter!)
